Well I just got back from a week long trip in Atlanta. Took the L out there b/c i was picking up a new motorcycle. Anyway, I was at a bar with some old friends , and when i came out to the parking lot I found a nice sized reddish gash on my right frot bumper. Someone Im sure was backing out, and cut the corner too soon and gouged the side of my bumper. Its a good size gash, but the bumper is still in tact. I mean like no holes, etc. There is just good amount of my paint gone, and a good amount of his red paint on there. Some gouges here and there, but its not too deep. Think can take it to a body shop and just have it buffed down, re-fiberglassed and re-painted? I know its hard to visualize without a picture, will try to get one up soon. Thanks.

 

Sorry to hear that dude.


Find who it was and kick his a$$!

 

Sorry to hear that. Friggin peckerheads could at least leave a note if they're afraid they'll get busted for DWI.

 

Don't think the bumber is fiberglas, but it's amazing
what Boddy Shoppes can do.

Good luck and sorry about the incident...

 

I smacked mine up on Jan 3 $1000.00 later for the bumper cover after hitting some ice and sliding into the side of a hill, and $ 700.00 later for the back bumper and box side fixed after I hit a water well

Plastic Guys,
there all made out of recycled pop bottles and milk jugs

 

Damn Alan! Sorry to hear that bro. I hope you get it fixed soon.

 

I try never to take my L to a bar. People are drinking there. They probably didn't even know they did it. I'd say an asswhipping is still in order though. I'm sorry to see anybody have to deal with parking lot damage. Sometimes people just suck.

 

Thats why I take the LTD to the bars.

Hope its good as new when the bodyshop fixes it

 

Boy - you have the worst luck I have ever seen with driving vehicles. I thought my buddy was bad since he wrecked quite a few Mustangs.

 

When you get older/hopefully wiser you learn NEVER take a real good looking gal or your new pricey ride to "a bar". If you do so you are only asking for trouble..

 

Normally I would not have taken it to a bar, but if you would have read the post, i said i drove it to another state/city. That means it was my only means of transportation. Anyway, Atlanta drivers are the worst, always cutting you off, etc. The jerk could have at least put a sorry note or some chit. Too bad Im back in texas, or else i would have tried to find him..good chance he might have been a local at that bar. Also, i intended this thread as a question about how easy/hard/expensive fixing our bumpers are...not telling me i should have not taken my truck to the bar...as i said, it was my only way of getting around....billarf, get older/wiser and read the post thoroughly.

 

BillArf says his L's bumper is intact.. Again, give yourself 30 more years and maybe you to will know to keep a pricey vehicle out of a parking lot full of drunks whether out of town or not.. By the way, I thought you came here sniveling and not asking for repair estimates. For the record, my original post was not made to ridicule you but perhaps this one was..

 

HEY, was just thinking.. Weren't you the one that let their friend drive their brand new L home from "a bar". You had damage then. Remember.. https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...hreadid=132793

Yup, 30 more years and you might learn!

Seriously, sorry your L was damaged!

 

*****ing rights ,

The world is going to hell and I think I' am driving the bus
